How do you set up polls?
You can only set up a poll in a thread you yourself started. When you make your first post in the blank text box, scroll right down to the bottom and you will see this:
Post a Poll
Yes, post a poll with this thread (check the box here!)
Number of poll options: (Maximum: 25) enter the number of possible choices voters will have
Then "send" your post in the normal way.
At the next stage you will be guided on how to fill in the various voting options. I wish people would be more logical when doing this.
For example, good is:
a) Brazil
b) Colombia
c) other South American nations
Bad would be:
a) Brazil
b) South American
c) Colombia
as the options overlap.
You will also have the option of making the poll open or not. That is whether the way people voted is open for all to see.
You can also go back and add a poll to a thread you started later on after several posts but I am not sure if this option eventually expires. Someone please fill us in on this.
I was trying to put a poll on a thread I started AlreadY I can't figure out how to do it.
Nor can I! I went back to the last thread I started but that is so old now that the option to start a poll might have expired.
Nor can I now find the "how to do things" help pages. I haven't needed them since DT last reorganized the site.
I suggest you PM to Don Tomas, pasting in the URL of this thread. It would be good if he posted his answer here rather than a PM then we can all learn.
Thanks for your help Weyland.
There is an option at the bottom when you set up a thread to include a Poll. You check that and submit, then you are taken to a screen to add options. After you created the thread ask a Moderator, like me and tell me what options you want and I will set it up for you.
